Over the years, TTM has hosted a number of movie and video shoots. Scenes from a number of movies, both lahigh and low budget, have been filmed at the museum. We have also played host to several music videos for local music groups. Some television shows, including interviews with the famous and not-so-famous, have been shot at the museum, using various parts of our large site as a back drop. Some have also taken place within our antique railroad cars. In 2010 an important part of a PBS documentary on the subject of the growing olive oil industry was shot at the museum. This was to signify the importance of railroads in creating so many rural communities around 1900.

In order to keep background noise and other distractions to a minimum, most film makers prefer to shoot at the museum when it is closed to the public. The rate is $200.00 per hour, with a minimum of five hours. All sessions must be booked in advance. You can do this by phoning the museum during regular hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or by e-mail by clicking:
